NOTHING SAYS GRACE LIKE “DO-OVER”
I was struggling for the first half of today. Cooking and cleaning and grocery shopping while everybody else played and left messes.
Around noon I started to take it personally, and I threw a bit of a pathetic mom-fit. “This isn’t fair!” I whined. The conviction came fast. So, I asked for forgiveness, put on some tennis shoes, and went outside to play ping-pong with my boys.
I don’t always do it right, but I am an avid believer that when I’m convicted about doing it wrong, I can stop and try again. “Try again.” Isn’t that what we tell our kids when they whine and complain and throw a fit? “Try that again... go back to your room and please try coming out with a better attitude...” So I called a Do-Over for myself (after a little time-out) and came back out to “Try Again.” So grateful for new mercies and all the grace my God (and my children) show me when I mess up.

Real life: one of my goals of 2019 is to show more #reallife photos, so here you go! 😊
•
If you look close at my photo you will see legos all over my kitchen table, a chair full of things that need to be put away, laundry basket full of clean clothes (I just have not put away), and every stuffed animal my daughter owns on the couch. •
Even though our home might have dirt, chaos, and piles of paperwork at times. It’s full love, memories and laughter (and two kiddos enjoying being kids). •

People often ask me how I balance fitness with a full time career and #MomLife. While it can be difficult to find time to get to the gym or to a yoga class, I’m intentional about finding ways I can convert my home, the playground, the field, etc. into a workout space 🧘🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️💪🏻
.
Pictured here is my favorite workout buddy - my kettle bell. Easy to transport for swings and lifts while G is at a sports practice or playing outside/on the playground. I never lift anything over 10lbs, as I’m more about additional reps than weight (my ideal sculpting), and this provides a variety of exercises! You can literally keep one in the trunk with some resistance bands and you’ve got a traveling gym - jackpot 🎰 .
I also love to do any kind of activity possible with Griff; running track, playing soccer, assisting with football drills ... all these things get my heart pumping and metabolism kicking!
.
Last thing - I like to look cute doing it all 💁🏻‍♀️These super comfy leggings from @athletiqueco are perfect for everything mentioned above, plus lounging. Love the lavender color! Oh, and you know it’s a comfy find when your cat wants to live in your lap 😻 Use code Kelly10 for 10% off your order - shop and save ❤️

Have a H A P P Y week 💛

Do you know how the idea for Tasty Clean was born? 💡
- - -
Tasty Clean was born out of necessity when a mother and her son found themselves in a situation (okay…a full blown tantrum) with no solution. One ill-fated, fallen sucker in a public place provided Mommy with that light bulb moment. If only there were a safe and all-natural product that I could simply spray onto the now germ infested sucker so that I could give it back to my (inconsolable) son. Well friends, now there is such a product – Tasty Clean!
Made in America with truly all-natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar and stevia, Tasty Clean is the first of its kind flavored cleansing spray that helps you out when you’re on the go. It fits easily into your pocket or bag as a portable spray meant for those “uh-oh” moments in life. This unique formula is completely safe to ingest and contains no harsh chemicals, dyes, surfactants or sugar. Tasty Clean boasts a clinically tested formula that was proven to kill up to 99.9% of common germs in as little as: 30*. Tasty Clean is perfect for safely disinfecting a wide variety of everyday items including pacifiers, bottles, toys, nasty retainers, mouth guards, dirty utensils, musical instruments and pretty much anything your family puts in their mouths. An effortless solution to an everyday problem, Tasty Clean is the must-have travel companion and GREAT for camping or road trips.

My February spread! .
February marks one year of bullet journaling for me. It has been a lifesaver with it’s flexibility and a single place to write everything down. I keep things pretty simple, but add some color with Crayola markers. .
The letters after the kids names are to keep track of where they are going when I’m working. A floating work schedule, Grammie days, daycare and preschool are a lot to keep track of! This is how I keep track of everyone for the month!

Bloom where you are planted 🌱 Work with what you have, where you are now. This has always been my philosophy, because if I were have waited till I was ready (enough time, enough money, etc etc) bahaha I’d still be waiting! START TODAY! #ownit#today#5secondrule#go#divinelydriven at Windsor, Ontario

Currently sitting on River’s bed nursing Indie because it’s the comfiest place in our house. Myles and I are planning to take a road trip to Utah this summer, and all I can think about is dirty dr peppers. 😍🤤🥥

What are some of your favorite vacation spots or places to visit on the west coast? We want to take some little trips throughout the year!

Happy Monday!
Hope everyone enjoyed today's holiday. We spent it at the park to get rid of some energy. As usual the swing was Josie's favorite, thought Julie is skeptical.
How did you spend today's holiday? at Columbia, South Carolina
